This is a significant development in Punjab’s political and religious landscape.
The Panj Singh Sahib at Sri Akal Takht Sahib has declared Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann as Panth Virodhi and Guru Virodhi. Earlier today, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj stated that a viral video purportedly showing Bhagwant Mann under the influence of alcohol and sprinkling droplets on photographs of the Guru Sahibs was examined by two prominent laboratories, which reportedly concluded that the video was neither fake nor AI-generated.
For millions of Sikhs, reverence towards the Guru Sahibs and Sikh maryada is non-negotiable. The statements made by the Akal Takht today are therefore likely to have far-reaching political and social consequences.

What Mamata Banerjee couldn’t do in 15 years, Suvendu Adhikari and the BJP government have delivered in just 15 days.
🚇 RVNL has successfully completed the long-delayed girder launching work at the Chingrighata crossing section of Kolkata Metro’s Orange Line, ahead of schedule.
This 366-metre missing link is critical for completing the New Garia-Airport Metro corridor, which will connect Kolkata’s southern suburbs with the IT hub in Sector V.
Why was this project stalled for years?
Because the Mamata Banerjee government repeatedly denied permission for traffic diversion. RVNL had only sought night traffic blockades over two successive weekends to complete the work.
The moment the political obstruction ended, the work moved at speed.
For years, Bengal was told delays were “technical”. Turns out, the biggest technical problem was the TMC government itself.
